I recently started seeing someone new and he's mentioned that his religion is really important to him. I grew up in a religious household, but I'm not religious at all anymore. I don't have any strong opinions either way so it's not a deal breaker for me, but it seems to weigh on him a little that we don't share the same beliefs. What can I do to support him and show him I care about his values without it coming across as insincere?

Do you think it matters if you and your SO’s friends are similar? My boyfriend and my backgrounds are very different and while we are fine with each other’s friends, I would never mesh our friend groups. A part of me always get envious of couples who are able to expand their friend groups and do fun things together

I’m single. It’s me & the dog.

I have 3 accountant friends.

Sometimes, especially during busy season, I talk about my job a lot; because it’s all I have.

I have a few friends, who put down what I do & are bothered when I talk about work & the hours I’m working.

I didn’t see them during the pandemic or miss them.

Feeling I work my ass off & being annoyed by them putting me down, has put a chip on my shoulder, I’m okay with never seeing them again, does this make me a bad person?

Moved to the DC area about two years ago and have yet to establish myself friendwise. I usually tag along with my partner to all of his events as I’m traveling 5 days a week and have no forum. Any...

What are your thoughts on the everlasting friends debate - cheating or were they on a break?

My husband told me my sneezes hurt his ears. What funny thing has your SO told you since beginning of Quarantine 2020?

I've decided it's impossible to try and get my immigrant father to understand what I do as a transactional in-house lawyer. Every conversation about work goes like this (cont)

Welp, I’m off to the home office while my wife goes and plays D&D with our new group. Sad to miss it, but feeling freaking lucky as F that I have a fun partner. We also kill at Fortnite together 🥵

Please help me with this.

My fiancee is selected in Citibank and i also got offer from Citibank. We are going to get married soon.

Is it allowed to marry within company, or I'll have leave the company.

I'm saying this because i see in credit Suisse, you and spouse can't be working in same company. If they are then there are too much declarations and approvals. And both are investment bank

Saw a friend today who is an IVF veteran and asked her advice going into my first retrieval: “the goal is to stay married.” It hit hard. This has already been so difficult on our marriage and I’m not even on stims yet. I came home and immediately searched therapists. Any other truth bombs this weekend?

Any ideas for inclusion for high school kids with severe autism and intellectual disability? PE is the only time that students are with typical kids.

Anyone have kids that struggle with night terrors?

My daughter had one for the first time last night and it scared the crap out of me. It was like she didn’t know who I was.

I have a sibling that wants to work at the same firm I work at. Work is what I have to myself, and I don’t want them there in my space. It feels icky but it’s my comfort zone, what do I do?

I'm with a 26 yr old woman who decides what she does (where she travels) based on how her dad feels about it. He's an anxious person who worries about her safety. We live in different states. I'm ready to settle down and make a future. Shes worried about her dad's feelings (for the record, I value family, too). Thoughts?

First boyfriend i’ve had during the holidays and he’s away at home. I’m so bored 🙁😞

Curious... for the those with kids, how have you set your kids for financial success?

I have pretty strong social phobia and am worried about making friends. I'm going to be working for an engineering company so I imagine I don't have to be really up on the latest trends or anything but how can I talk to people without making it sound unnatural?

hi - new to this bowl. I want to make sure I’m not being irrational or dramatic lol.

My boyfriend forgot my upcoming birthday. He scheduled a pick-up hockey game on that day and when I asked him about it, he said it was important to him to play hockey with his friends and we could celebrate my birthday a different day. for context, we’ve been dating for over a year and he knows how important celebrating is to me. im pretty close to ending it... thoughts?

Why am I scared and embarrassed to show affection towards my family, despite wanting to?

For example, sometimes I just want to hug my mom (I just graduated and still live at home) or even just say I Love You, but I Can't!

I have a really good relationship with my family so I don't understand why I can't just muster the courage to show affection?

I don't have any issues with showing affection to my SO...

Anyone have any ideas? Do I need a therapist?

Anyone women lawyers here interested in a local get together? New to the area & looking to meet friends, which is hard enough as a busy attorney, and got even harder with pandemic /WFH life. I brought this up in the women lawyers bowl and there were several 🐠🐠 in the Bay area looking to connect!

I honestly might break up with my boyfriend because of dead bedroom issues. We’re 26 and he acts like it’s normal to only want to sleep together every couple of weeks. Meanwhile I could do it every day. My theory is low testosterone, but I doubt he’d be interested in doing anything about it. Oof.

Hello fishes

Can one switch while posted onsite on GCP ?

Fresh immigrant here, moved in 2015, got gc in 2017. Current net worth in the US 169K (401K, investments). I make about 220K a year, but my spouse doesn’t work, and we have a kid with special needs, not much savings there. Currently live on rent - $3K. I’m selling my apartment in my previous country of residence, and it’s gonna be around $350K. What do you think is the best to do with those money? Buy a house, buy investment property, invest into market?

The best advice I ever got coming from a 5+ years realtor is: Have a rainy day fund! The real estate industry is a roller coaster. Thoughts?

I’m a firm believer that a manager should develop a positive relationship with employees, but I don’t want that to be an invitation to disrespect my authority. How do you know where to draw the line to make this distinction clear?

What's a typical hourly wage for a new department manager? This is my first department specific job. (I've worked retail before but always floated between departments as a sales associate) I was recently promoted to be in charge of 2 of our smaller departments and I am the only employee who works in them on a daily basis.

(1/2) Hey agency producers. Maybe a stupid question but I’m used to production management. Casting “real women”... do you expect the production company to do that, or bid a separate casting agency?

Looking for some truly integrated producers. Digital (web dev, not just banners), Video (social AND broadcast) and Print (managing mech dev, not just art buying and photo production). Do you exist??

A friend is looking to transition to a Producer role She’s spent the last several years working at Talent Agencies in NYC & here in DFW & has a solid understanding of production process. Any advice?

I am due to take 2 weeks parental leave sometime in the next month and have an offer lined up. Is it better to tell the new place I would prefer to push my start date to take my leave and join two weeks after (accounting for 2 weeks of notice when I get back)? Would that be burning a bridge with current firm (taking leave and giving notice as soon as I am back)? I want to avoid losing 2 weeks of salary during that time if I can.

Non tax exit opps after 1 year in tax? I just want to do something general in business and not be so specialized

How much of our souls do we have to sell to make partner?

A summer associate has a side hustle business. It’s ok until they are barred right?

When the company does meet and greets they ask about hobbies, I like to shoot guns, I enjoy them and have several. I don’t mention this due to stigma people have about guns. I feel that I have to hide a part of myself at work and it’s frustrating.

New guilty pleasure: Indian Matchmaking on Netflix

Sometimes recruiters call or I have a phone interview and I say awkward things or there are awkward silences that I think undercut my professional image. What can I do about it?

I think women (or primary care taker) should get more parental leave benefits than men

You’re always alone at big 4

I just spent $100 on pumpkin candles.

I frequently text myself things. Quotes. Recipes. TikToks I find hilarious and want to watch again. In the fecking nanosecond it takes for the text to come back to me, I forget I’ve sent it and am startled when my phone dingles and vibrates while I’m looking at it. Like physically startled. Small twitch and heart skips a beat. Every. Single. Time. What is wrong with me?

I was assaulted by a worker in my home and since then I recoil from anyone of similar ethnicity. I wish it wasn’t that way. Any assault survivors on here who have experienced similar and moved past it?

Working from home is killing me. I haven’t left the house in weeks and I am starting to look like a hermit haha. Any tips for getting motivated to get out of the house and actually getting decent looking for the day? I plan to make a hair appointment soon. Hoping that will help give be a boost of confidence with my appearance. The short days are not helping!

If your associates look like shit, I’m blacklisting you as a potential employer. If your people can’t meet their basic needs, especially while making bank, it’s a bad sign.

It’s 9pm, I just started going through emails. . 🥹
